We interviewed Katie MacDonald of Tailwind for our June Gist about #climateadaptation. This week, the Tailwind team launched the Adaptation and Resilience Innovation Playbook. As she emphasized in our interview, the adaptation side of climate requires more investment, innovation, and action to make communities and the economy resilient to intensifying climate impacts. This report provides a status update on the state of this ecosystem and tangible recommendations on what we can all do to grow it. Check out the playbook here: https://lnkd.in/e3asPnsv Read our interview with Katie here: https://lnkd.in/gTA3SWyN #climateadaptation #climatetech #climateresilience

Each month, The Ad Hoc Group publishes a monthly climate tech + policy newsletter. Our most popular edition of 2024 was an interview with Washington's climate advisor, Anna Lising, on how states can serve as a climate firewall. In 2025 and beyond, you can expect much emphasis on state climate and energy policy. You can read our interview with Anna and sign up for The Gist here. Let us know in the comments what topics we should cover next! https://lnkd.in/g-yxdGWN
